Tomb Raider: What kind of heroine is she?

Zhang Xingxing picked up the coffee and took a sip, the bitter and mellow taste spread in his mouth.

Well, everyone's life seems to be very exciting... It seems that leaving her doesn't make any difference, no impact. This is good~

Really.

"What about you? Master Xie Jiu, why don't you talk about yourself?"

Zhang Xingxing put the coffee back on the table and spoke with some doubt. They talked for a long time and talked about so much, but Xie Jiu seemed to talk very little about himself.

The moment Xie Jiu heard Zhang Xingxing ask him, his heart beat faster, "Does she care about me?" He looked at Zhang Xingxing unconsciously, and when he saw her eyes full of curiosity and without emotion, he knew that she was just curious about why he didn't talk about his recent situation. He was so unwilling...

No, he shouldn't think like that. She had a huge influence on him. He had done so much just to protect the Xie family and eliminate all dangerous factors. This was the right thing to do, wasn't it?

"Hmm? As for me, I don't seem to have anything special to say. I seem to be always busy making money. Let me think about it. Hmm...I married Concubine Fang last year. It's a happy event, right?"

For unknown reasons, Xie Jiu told her that he had married a concubine. Although they were both getting what they wanted and there was not much emotion, Xie Jiu did not say these words, but swallowed them. The only irresistible impulse and strong emotional ups and downs he felt were from the person next to him. But these words should not be said.

"Wow~ Boss Xie, I didn't expect that. Wow, you are so lucky. Congratulations, congratulations."

When Xie Jiu saw Zhang Xingxing's face full of joy, with an expression that said "You're awesome, kid", his heart sank. Thinking of the scene he had just seen where "the man was in love and the woman was interested", the irritability in his heart surged up. He held back his teeth and spoke word by word.

"You too, are enjoying a great time. Congratulations, congratulations."

Zhang Xingxing: ???

What was he congratulating her for? Did he know that she had made academic progress? No, her academic journey had only just begun... Could it be that her academic arrogance was so obvious?

"Oh, that's a piece of cake. No matter how good I am, I'm not even one ten-thousandth as good as Boss Xie~"

When Xie Jiu heard these seemingly flattering words, only sarcasm remained in his mind. He coughed, warned himself not to think too much, and asked Zhang Xingxing what the purpose of inviting him to tea, no, coffee was.

"Ahem, Boss Xie. I do have something to ask of you. First, I would like to ask you to secretly check whether there is still someone monitoring the Hong Mansion. I can't tell you anything else. Second, I want to discuss business with Boss Xie. I want Boss Xie to help me deliver a batch of goods to a place through his channels."

After hearing this, Xie Jiu immediately sat up straight, touched the cup with his fingers, and began to think.

Someone is watching the Hong Mansion? That shouldn't be the case. It's one of the top three gates among the Nine Gates. Who would dare to covet the Hong Mansion without a second thought? So it's a conspiracy? Is it targeting the people in the Hong Mansion or the Nine Gates as a whole? Since you said still? Does it mean that they have been watching it all along? How long ago was it planned? How did Zhang Xingxing find out? If it's so dangerous, is she okay?

"it is good."

Zhang Xingxing didn't expect that Xie Jiu had already figured out so much based on her few words, and she didn't expect that he would accept her request so readily.

"Thank you! Master Jiu, you are indeed a handsome, suave, elegant, handsome, and extraordinary person. You are a great man with both talent and beauty, and you are rich and famous. I admire you so much~"

Xie Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was the first time he had seen someone praised like that. It was even more exaggerated than Qi Tiezui's. He even called him Master Jiu...

But, this feeling is pretty good~

"I will keep an eye on the Red Mansion after I return, but it may be a little slow to investigate secretly. Don't worry, if something really happens, we are all from the Nine Gates and will not sit idly by. And where is your batch of goods? I will leave tomorrow, and I have to make arrangements, otherwise I will be worried."

"So urgent?"

Xie Jiu nodded. He was going to leave today, but he didn't expect to meet her... Zhang Xingxing didn't expect Xie Jiu's schedule to be so urgent. Her things were all in the space and hadn't been taken out yet. There was no other way. It seemed that she could only work overtime tonight.

"Okay, pick it up tomorrow morning."

Xie Jiu nodded to indicate that he had received it. He caught a glimpse of the figure of Black Glasses tossing and turning on the recliner, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhang Xingxing hurried to see him off. When Xie Jiu waved his hand to tell her not to see him off, his eyes caught sight of Man with Black Glasses lying flat on the rocking chair with his face facing the door. Not knowing what was going on in his mind, he spoke something.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Er Yuehong has been missing you a lot."

Zhang Xingxing: Oh~~ Second brother is really something, he is already an adult, but still so mushy. I saw that many people in the Hong Mansion said that he missed her, his dear disciple~ As expected, her dear disciple, good sister is still too cute, so lovable, Wuhu~

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingxing's eyes almost narrowed with laughter, and the corners of her mouth rose wildly. Xie Jiu saw her smile like a little fox, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

At this moment, behind the two happy figures, only the man with black glasses was lying there, silently curling his lips.
